The original spellings and pronunciations are Gaelic and/or Welsh, so in order to make the prayer easier to hear and follow, we have not attempted to replicate the native sounds but have rather used a comparatively straightforward phonetic reading.    EXPLANATORY NOTES: If you have ancestry coming from any of the following locations, we recommend that you also pray the Renunciation of Druidism prayer, since there is a real possibility that you have had Druid associations somewhere along your bloodline:  England    Scotland    Ireland    Wales    France    Holland Belgium    Germany    Austria    Eastern Europe    Macedonia WHY is this renunciation of DRUIDISM being offered here, as pertaining to HALLOWEEN? Author Amanda Buys has this (and much more) to say about the intimate historical and spiritual connections between Druidism and Halloween:  "To pray against Halloween, you have to find the root of Halloween, which is in Druidism. Therefore, understanding Druids, and the Ancient Religion they practiced, is to understand Halloween and what you are battling against. "Halloween is also known as Samhain, Shadowfest (Strega), Martinmas (Celtic/Scottish). Many religions have ceremonies relating to Halloween – the Druidic and Shamanic roots are seen today in Pagans, Wiccans, Satanists, New Age believers. and various other occultic religions all celebrate on 'Halloween' what was originally a Druidic or Shamanistic festival. The Druidic New Year began at Samhain - named for the primeval Lord of the Dead, Samana. Samhain is the Witches' New Year, representing one full turn of the seasonal year. Halloween is the last of the three Pagan harvest Sabbaths marking the end of the growing seasons. "Druids held the ceremonies in 'sacred' places, such as groves of trees, especially oak trees. Druidic human sacrifices were part of these ceremonies.  "Satanists have adopted the Druidic High Days and as such celebrate Halloween as follows (blood and sex rituals with demons, and animal or human sacrifices, are conducted during this season): • 22-29 October Satanists start Sacrifice preparation • 30 October Satanic High Day – related to Halloween with human sacrifice • 31 October All Hallow’s Eve / Halloween "Traditional Halloween symbols appeared in the U.S. during the late 1800's: witches, black cats, 'death's heads' cut from pumpkins, candles, and masks. Pranks and 'trick-or-treating were implemented to mimic the revenge that demons, foul creatures, and Druids themselves would wreak on those who refused to honor the Druids with money and gifts during this season.  "The uninformed Christian has no idea that there truly are demonic spirits that are contacted and activated as people call out to them in jest or in seriousness. Every act around Halloween is in honor of false gods, which are spirits in the realm of the Satanic. "Halloween has gone by various names but all of them have been tributes to the same dark force, Satan. There is no place in the life of the Church, or the Christian, for such participation."   Author:  Amanda Buys  www.eu.kanaanministries.org Text source:  Prayer - Generational Druidism http://www.kanaanministries.org/downloads/?category=10&sortby=title&dlpage=2 FOR FURTHER INFORMATION ABOUT DRUIDISM, as well as further renunciation prayers, we recommend the FREE downloadable text of "The Druidism Root and Its Fruits", available here:   http://www.kanaanministries.org/downloads/?category=23&sortby=title&dlpage=2
